    Jacox built rifle -7mm saum

    I must say, this man knows what he's doing. An amazingly build rifle, with quality components. Jaco, a conisseur in the gunsmith industry of new zealand, and I am proud to own a rifle built, and marked by you.

    7mm saum,
    26inch proof,
    Defiance ruckus action,
    Hardy ultra mag suppressor,
    Elftman trigger,
    Manners stock,
    Hawkins bottom metal,
    Nightforce rings
    Nightforce nx8 4-32
    Throated deeper that ya standard saum.
    64.2g rl26, 168g berger vld hunters, fed 215 primers.

    She's a tack driver for sure and the gunsmithing is next to none.

    Hahaha I'll keep that in mind bro, she was sitting at 3045 fps when I first did the powder test with a brand new barrel. Imagine I'd be looking around 3100 when she's fully broken in.

    I agree with Lars about Jaco. I have 2 Jaco X rifles. Nowhere as flash as above but they shoot 1 hole.
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    Same. He did a barrel for me.

    Cheers guys, this is awesome.

    I'm just lucky to have friends that supports me doing what I love most.

    At this rate I might have to give up my day job.
